About KMZ
A KMZ is a ZIP archive containing a KML file, normally named doc.kml, and the icons and images it uses. Google Earth saves a placemark collection as KMZ so that the pictures travel with it.
KMZ is a compressed archive, so text editors and many scripts cannot read it directly. KMZ bundles a map with its icons and images in one file.
